    I am getting my bow dialed in and decided to practice from an elevated position since I'll be hunting from a stand.

    18 yard shot with mission craze 28" 60#

    Field points hit perfect from level ground to elevated. Killzone's hit a touch high from level to 3 inches high from elevated.

    Anybody else have the same issue? How do I adjust so both level and elevated shots are the same?

    And to top it off, the killzone I was using broke the little bolt in half.

    Make sure you are holding your form when shooting from elevated position. Many like to drop the arm vice maintain proper form. Could be off just enough to make Killzones go high and not impact field points.

    Great thought! I forgot about that part of the form for the elevated shots. Thanks copper!

    Bend at the waist to aim down instead of dropping your arm. If you're dropping your arm it shortens your draw length and can make your shots inconsistent.

    Some of my broadheads always hit high as well.
